My son is 5 and I have really wanted to start a garden and plant some flowers with him. I have never done ANYTHING like that though. I don’t even know where to start! I am going to check out some of these books in hopes they have good instructions! Thank you! I always enjoy your writing!

I love your garden ideas. We have 4 little ones and would love to get them started on their own fun garden. We had thought about doing a pizza garden for the kids because we LOVE pizza. I would love to try out the Sunflower garden and the Moon garden (we just love looking at the stars). Thank you again for the ideas.

I was just surfing the other day for kids garden ideas so was really happy when I saw your post. My daughter has just started watering the garden in our new house with her baby watering can. Unfortunately it’s Autumn here “down under” in Australia. I can’t wait till Spring to plant a rainbow garden and a pizza garden – just the thing to go with my homemade pizzas from the breadmaker!

This is so timely! We are planning our garden right now. I am going to submit to my children several different offers that you mentioned and see which one they like. I’m leaning towards the sunflower tepee and the rainbow, sounds so lovely!! Thanks for posting this. It made me smile.

This is our first summer in our new house, so we will be doing a lot in our new backyard. We have NO plants or flowers to speak of. We will be starting another vegetable garden and I know my daughter would LOVE the Sunflower House – what an awesome idea. She’s also really into Tinkerbell, so I can see a Fairy Garden in the future too. So much to do!

I have a small copse of bamboo in my backyard, and I am planning to clear out a spot in the middle, with a path so the kids can play in there during the summer heat! I also have a special place in the garden for my kids to plant whatever they want. Last year we had potatoes, sunflowers, daffodills, and petunias all mixed up in there – it was great!

I have already been eyeing this book. Did I read about it on your blog from last summer? I’m not sure, but I already have figured out what part of the yard I’d like to do it, and have been trying to decide how to convince my hubster that it will actually work!

Tons of great ideas here! My daughter is already looking for fairies in the garden. We are involving her in our veggie garden. She helped pick what to plant and has been having fun planting the seeds. I can’t wait to see her running out to pick veggies and eat them on the spot. The Sunflower Houses looks like another great giveaway, thanks!
